2 women killed in Georgia crashes

Two women were killed Tuesday in accidents: a wreck on Georgia 99 at night near Eulonia, and a single-car crash on Interstate 95 in southern Liberty County shortly after noon, the Georgia State Patrol said.

Mariah Ida Myers, 23, of Crescent, was driving west on Georgia 99 just east of Eulonia about 6:20 p.m. when an eastbound vehicle crossed the center line and struck her 2003 Chevrolet Impala head-on, State Patrol operator Steve Drury said.

Myers was killed and her mother, Claudia Myers, 53, a passenger in her car, also of Crescent, was injured, Drury said.

Timothy Scott, 39, of a Townsend address, was attempting to pass another vehicle when he drove his 2001 Crown Victoria into the approaching lane, Drury said.

Scott and his passenger, Andre Jarrod Jackson, 26, of Darien, were both airlifted from the scene and taken to hospitals, Drury said.

Drury said the incomplete investigative report contained no information on the injuries.

A state patrol Specialized Collision Reconstruction Team is investigating the crash and charges are unlikely until the team has completed its report, he said.

About 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, Janet Lee MacDonald, 65, of Rocky Mount, N.C., was killed when her 2007 Honda Fit struck a tree in the median of I-95 about four miles north of the McIntosh County line, Drury said.

MacDonald was alone and driving south when the car left the roadway and traveled about 550 feet before hitting the tree, he said.
